About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to not act like an old man

ABOUT ME

I play music, write music, listen to music, write a bunch, take bad photos and post them on websites, i smoke while I wear scarves and read the morning paper. I find my self being lazy and productive at the same time. Finding solitude with loud noise, but always a place for silence. We all have time to grow and "somewhat" figure life out, even if some missed the boat, another one comes eventually, just takes a little longer than you think.
I love talking and thinking of the abstract, laughing at bodily noises, and a good meal.

PHILOSOPHY

its ok to lose yourself as long as you can get yourself back.
also, the mind is like a parachute. its useless if it doesnt open. even if you dont know what your doing or where your going, having faith, not a religion, merely a faith, will guide your heart and mind. What that faith is is all relative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfing is the best way to experience a culture and the people in it, not to mention meeting some friends. Staying in a hotel and visiting the touristy sites with my camera is no way of going somewhere you've never been, and might not ever be able to go again. Alas, I want to learn, see, taste, and smell the differences with my bare hands, yet be able to still live in the modern world. Turn those experiences into lessons that I can teach and learn upon. This is a perfect way of doing this.

Interests

I play the sax, dabble in the guitar and piano, like to drink good beer smoke ciggys indoors although i normally dont. reading a good book for a minute or two before bed is like icing on the cake and smiling everyday never hurt anybody, life is just to short to not be happy.
The things that absolutly amaze me:
the stars
my mothers love
complexity of the dollar bill
a womans touch
orange juice
